TargetCool® CO₂ Cooling & Cryotherapy in London
A portable, multi-mode CO₂-powered skin device that delivers cooling, cryotherapy, and transdermal boosting. Relieve pain, reduce inflammation, enhance injections, and even remove lesions — all in a consultant-led, controlled clinical setting.
Introduction
TargetCool® is a sophisticated, clinician-focused cooling system using high-purity CO₂ cartridges to provide rapid, digitized, and precisely controlled skin cooling. It offers three distinct modes — cooling, freezing, and boosting (transdermal delivery) — all in one ergonomic handpiece.
This device supports smoother, more comfortable procedures — especially injectables and energy treatments — and enhances recovery while reducing pain and bruising. At Skinhorizon Clinic, we integrate TargetCool® into treatments like dermal fillers, microneedling, CO₂ laser, and PRP/exosome protocols to elevate comfort and outcomes.

How the technology works (technical detail)
TargetCool® delivers ultra-pure CO₂ gas via a digitally controlled nozzle to rapidly cool skin to a precise temperature. Infrared sensors monitor skin temperature in real time, helping ensure safety and consistency.
It has three interchangeable modes:
- Cooling mode (about −10 °C to 5 °C): numbs skin, controls pain, and reduces inflammation and bruising during injections or laser treatments.
- Freezing mode (cryotherapy): precise lesion treatment (e.g., warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, actinic keratoses) with minimal collateral effect.
- Boosting mode: uses a CO₂ jet to enhance transdermal delivery of serums (e.g., PRP or exosomes).
Treatment process step-by-step
- Consultation: review treatment type and anatomy to select appropriate mode and settings.
- Preparation: apply as needed — e.g., before injectables, post‑laser, or during boosting for topical absorption.
- Application: the nozzle delivers targeted cooling, freezing, or boosting for the required time.
- Immediate comfort: typically no downtime; relief is immediate.
- Integration: commonly paired with fillers, microneedling, or laser resurfacing.
Applications & Benefits of TargetCool®
- Pain relief during injections (fillers, anti‑wrinkle) — faster workflow, less anxiety.
- Reduces bruising, swelling, and inflammation — ideal alongside CO₂ laser, microneedling, or LED phototherapy.
- Precision cryotherapy — controlled treatment for warts, seborrhoeic keratoses, and actinic keratoses.
- Transdermal boosting — enhances uptake of PRP or exosome serums.
- Calming support for flares — options exist alongside acne care or rosacea treatment (clinician‑directed use).
Recovery & downtime
TargetCool® does not create downtime. For injections, the skin feels immediately cooler and swelling is minimised. For cryotherapy, treated spots may develop mild crusting that resolves within days. Boosted areas may have mild transient redness.
Safety & side effects
Side effects are usually mild and brief — local redness or cold sensation. Safety is supported via calibrated canisters, temperature feedback, and consultant‑led protocols.
Before & After Results
- Less pain and bruising during facial injectables when cooling mode is used.
- Precise cryotherapy allows targeted lesion treatment and tidy healing.
- Boosting mode can support deeper topical uptake for glow and hydration when clinically indicated.
